FEAR IS LIKE CHOLESTEROL . . .
“We need some, but too much cholesterol and our hearts clog up, and our life energy suffers. A healthy nervous system can bounce back, but a weakened or a dysregulated system hangs on to stress and it gets harder and harder to manage emotions.
Through my teaching and coaching this week, I met several patients and caregivers trapped in fear cycles. I talked to them about the self-care and well-being practices that would increase their resiliency. Life can be hard, but a resilient/healthy nervous system discharges stress and brings us back to balance and flow. Consider these resiliency practices: move more, eat right, pray/meditate, develop a large network of good friends, and have a purpose in life meaningful to you.”
